If you’d like to power your whole house with a wind turbine system, you’ll need more than just the turbine itself. Here’s how to set up the system.

Step One: Take a look at your last year’s worth of electric bills. Look for the highest amount of electricity you’ve ever used. Technically, if you want to ensure you never pay a power bill again, you’ll want more watts than that highest figure. But, truthfully, unless you plan to sell your unused electricity back to the power company, it’s probably a savvier idea to plan to produce as much electricity as you need in an average month and to simply pay the electric company a little bit for that month or two when you need more electricity each year.

Step Four: Hook it all together. This step can be tricky if you don’t have a background as an electrician–if that’s the case, it’s probably well worth the investment to bring in a professional to build a wind power system. Of course, there are books on the subject that can help if you want to tackle it on your own.

Step Five: Enjoy your whole house wind turbine system knowing that you’ve reduced your family’s reliance on nuclear power and fossil fuels and kept a lot of money in your pocket.
